Outlook: All varsity spots are up for grabs under new coach Ryan Bishop, with about 10 golfers vying for spots in the lineup. The Panthers, though young, are determined to improve upon last year's league finish and qualify one or more golfers for state after missing out last year.

BROOMFIELD

Coach: John Ferraro (10th year).

Last year: First as a team at regionals; fourth at 4A state tournament.

Outlook: Dorans, a Wyoming recruit, is a serious state title contender after once again placing in the top 10 last season. Whether the Eagles can get their team back to state depends upon who steps up to fill the other varsity spots in the wake of multiple graduations. The Eagles boast a roster of 24, their largest ever.

Outlook: The Warriors are a young group trying to develop experience on the course, with lone state qualifier Halle Peterson gone to graduation. The Warriors will have to season their games quickly if they hope to compete in the tough Northern League.

FAIRVIEW

Coach: John Zerwin (Second year).

Last year: Placed first as a team at regionals; third at 5A state tournament.

Outlook: With three state qualifiers back, including regional champion Kelly Moran, the Knights feel they've got the talent to win a state title. Their quest will be only aided by the depth brought by Stewart and Madison McCambridge, who figures to challenge for scoring spots in the lineup each meet.

LEGACY

Coach: Mark Glen (first year).

Last year: Finished second as a team at regionals; placed sixth at 5A state tournament.

Outlook: Glen takes over in the plum position of inheriting three state qualifiers and a group the Lightning believe can also challenge for league and state titles if it plays consistently. Sarah Hankins is a bona fide individual title contender.

Outlook: Monarch expects to climb the Front Range League ladder, led in part by an experienced sophomore group. Riley, who has added 2007 state champ and former Coyote and Oklahoma Sooner Brooke Collins to his coaching staff, also expects big things from three-time letterwinner Kinney and talented freshman Elliott.

Outlook: The upside of having an almost entire roster of new players a year ago is that the Pumas return much of the core of that group. Now they must keep improving if Peak to Peak hopes to send anyone to state. Senior Linnea Danielson and junior Tara Gomer are both injured and their status is unknown for the season.

Outlook: The Falcons return just two of their top five players from a year ago. But Pauluhn is ready to build on her strong freshman campaign, and Bender expects some low rounds from Klimecki. Along with experienced additions like McPeak and Ashton, the Falcons believe they can qualify for state as a team.
